Re: AW: AW: Rotation

[Gordon B. Alley]

I have a Kodak DX6490. When its orientation sensor is enabled, it rotates the image (if necessary) immediately after the picture is taken, so that even the confirmation view in the viewfinder shows the image rotated (that's actually slightly annoying, in that I have to quickly rotate the camera back to normal position to check the image in the viewfinder). AFAIKT, the images are downloaded to my Mac with the image already rotated to the correct orientation. I've just checked the EXIF data for a downloaded photo I shot with vertical orientation, and it identifies the orientation as "Normal", so software like GC wouldn't try to rotate it again. --Gordon On Mon, 5 Jul 2004 15:30:57 -0400, Ernie Stamper <erniew@alltel.net> wrote: >The issue corrected itself with new plist creation.
